Small ripples. Real change. Meet the Pebble Promise Foundation.

The Pebble Promise Foundation is the charitable arm of Arise. Since 2024, we've been channelling real resources into the communities we call home: funding housing access programs, supporting children in need, and partnering with the nonprofits doing the work that matters most. Because being a credit union has always been about more than money. It's about the people behind it.

Building communities on a strong foundation

The Pebble Promise Foundation was founded in 2024 as our official charitable arm. It was born from a simple belief: a financial institution that's spent decades earning the trust of Massachusetts communities has a responsibility to do more than offer great rates. It has a responsibility to invest in the people behind every account. Named for the idea that a single act of generosity, like a pebble dropped in still water, creates ripples that travel further than you'd expect, the Foundation is already making its mark. Small acts. Big promise. And we're just getting started.

Housing access

We're helping families cross the threshold into homeownership. Through our partnership with the Merrimack Valley Housing Partnership, the Pebble Promise Foundation funds zero-interest deferred loan programs that remove the financial barriers standing between qualified buyers and the keys to their first home.

Children's support and education

Every child in our communities deserves a fair start. The Pebble Promise Foundation supports programs that provide essential resources, educational opportunities, and the kind of sustained backing that gives children in need a stronger foundation for life.

Community partnership and investment

We believe in showing up for the organisations already doing the hard work. The Pebble Promise Foundation actively partners with local nonprofits and charities across Massachusetts, co-investing in the programs that build stronger, more stable communities for everyone who lives in them.
